La Salle - Professional Outside Sales

 Our Publications Work ™

For 10 years American Marketing & Publishing has been quietly building a story of success for its advertisers and its employees. This year, our plan to grow our business by 35% requires us to expand our outside sales force. Our sales people receive extensive paid training, protected areas and are backed by an employer that delivers results for the businesses who advertise with us.

We are the publisher of the HomePages® Directories, an attractive, sensible and proven advertising medium.  We publish in four states (IL, IN, OH and WI) with headquarters in DeKalb, IL and 7 regional offices.

In 2007, over 40,000 small businesses advertised in our community-oriented home town phone books. As our sales representative, you will be responsible for selling local advertisers on the value of our product, an attractive alternative to expensive and poorly targeted regional telephone directories.
